To examine the prevalence and correlates of psychological distress in a school-based sample of Canadian adolescents.
Self-reported data of demographics, weight status, physical activity, screen-time, diet, substance use, and psychological distress were derived from a representative sample of 2935 students in grades 9 to 12 (M(age) = 15.9 years) from the 2009 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey.
Overall prevalence of psychological distress was 35.1%. Significant associations were shown between psychological distress and the following: being female, tobacco use, not meeting physical activity and screen-time recommendations, and inadequate consumption of breakfast and vegetables.
These findings highlight the need for targeting greater physical health promotion for adolescents at risk of mental health problems.
调查加拿大青少年学校样本中心理困扰的患病率及其相关因素。
人口统计学、体重状况、身体活动、屏幕使用时间、饮食、物质使用和心理困扰的自我报告数据来自2009年安大略省学生药物使用与健康调查中2935名9至12年级学生（平均年龄 = 15.9岁）的代表性样本。
心理困扰的总体患病率为35.1%。心理困扰与以下因素之间存在显著关联：女性、吸烟、未达到身体活动和屏幕使用时间建议标准、早餐和蔬菜摄入不足。
这些发现凸显了针对有心理健康问题风险的青少年加强促进身体健康的必要性。
